Don’t forget missions to ISS. That is a dozen plus missions? That is US tax payer money !

go to 21:30 and listen to Nelson tell us how much money SpaceX has saved for US taxpayers. FORTY BILLION DOLLARS

Lane switching drives me crazy. Two miles and even at one mile to the exit there were many perfect and easy wide open opportunities to switch lanes in preparation to take the exit. Instead it procrastinates and with 100 feet to go, it suddenly remembers that it has to switch, and tries to...

As you can see the glass is cracking and water dripping inside. That is the real above&beyond damage that a glass roof will inflict compared to a metal roof. And of course if the glass roof cracks, the occupants are going to be hit too.

Any update on Semi. It seems to have completely stalled and no end in sight? All the noise on thousands of reservations and a few deliveries to PepsiCo have all gone quiet... Even investors have lost interest in this product?

I am sorry, I should know by now, but I don't. Who is Martin V? and what is the impact to Tesla on his departure?

Since it is edge on with the rings, I don't believe you can get any view of the rings either. This 3D interactive image in NASA page gives you some idea: Titan - NASA Science

Interesting.. thanks for those details. I was wondering if the parent planet Saturn can be seen through the haze with naked eye? and if so how big it would be? and what about the rings?

Thank you. Definitely much more hazier than earth. Reasonable visibility where you can distinguish objects is perhaps 10 to 20 meters ... I think

What is the visibility on the ground in Titan ? Better than Venus? As good as Earth?

Pleasantly surprised that FSD recognized and understood blinkers from an 18 wheeler truck ahead of me and to my right lane . My car was trying to accelerate to catch up to speed limit since my lane was freed when a slow car in front of me got out of the way. The truck to my right and ahead of...

Had a 50 mile drive, most of that on the highways. It was doing just great - switching lanes as needed, to the fast lane when someone in front slowed down and switching back to middle lane after that - until it decided to move to the fast left most lane just 1 mile before exit, on heavy...

There is no doubt that is happening, in every field. And Musk companies work culture is generally not that keen on safeguarding IPs anyway unless forced by US military and govt.

"when autonomy is finally solved, then ..." That is the favorite phrase of many TMCers and Tesla bulls.

Nope. That was when Autopilot V1 (mobileye) was released. Then came AP V2. First version of FSD was released in 2019.

Can someone post the link on how to vote for this Elon's package ?

Why..?

Where is the 'No. of strikes' value recorded and how do I see how many is left for me?

In the sections where I drive here in North Dallas, it is close to error free - except for some Chuck Cook type UPLs, and some random inexplicable slowdowns . Of course here the lanes are broad, well marked and no complicated turns and intersections (for the most part). For me it is worth...

This is true. I have not had a single issue driving in the neighborhood streets with cars parked all over, even when sometimes there is just about enough room for only one car to pass through at an odd angle.

Why that silly dramatic music?

It is really good. The best I have seen of IFT2. Hope the release one like this for IFT3.

Right in the middle of an election cycle? That will only boost Modi's already bright chances. Not that I am complaining...

I am impressed at how it slows down for rail tracks and speed bumps even within an apartment parking lot. It either sees them visually and takes actions, or even those bumps are mapped out. So far my only challenges are unprotected 'Chuck Cook' lefts. It misses good opportunities and waits for...

Are you using the terms, 'tilt' and 'rotation' here in the sense that they mean the same ?

I think the comparisons with ChatGPT is quite apt here. People were pleasantly shocked that it could even do what it can, but they also soon found out the first iteration out of the block has its limitations, but has tremendous promise - true for both

Thank you Gods. Clouds stayed away and it was just SPECTACULAR !!

FSD is getting kudos from a lot of my friends who own Tesla, who haven't even tried Autopilot all these days. It is indeed a ChatGPT moment

This was an RTLS booster landing and not ASDS.

but then the clouds…

A week is the penalty ? Correct ?

Now I have only one warning left. What happens after that? Almost three of these strikes were because I was turning my head and talking to my passenger. So what next ?

I got FSD disabled warning three times already (because I was not looking at the road, but on the screen and it didn't like it). I only have two more strikes left. Question: What happens if I exhaust all my warnings? Will my FSD get disabled permanently and thats it? No recourse after that?

My FSD trial so far is going pretty good. Have not done the highways yet. On the backroads it does everything, except unsupervised lefts across 3 lanes in moderate to heavy traffic. It waits forever for all 6 lanes to be cleared. I was amazed how it handled the cars that cut you and cross...

Oh boy. The replies are hilarious. 🤣

Seeing more and more of this...

This is what I do even with Autopilot. I drive where I am not comfortable FSD driving. And I let it drive in other places. 80-20 rule. And I am quite happy with that.

After a successful static fire, the booster or the ship should not be moved back and forth the build and the launch site. All these movements introduce risk.

Turned on FSD yesterday, and went for several drives. Very smooth overall. Smooth turns, very smooth lane changes. I had no lane choice problems at all. Quite adept in navigating parking lots to reach the front of big box stores. Very impressed. Where it fell short: - Unsupervised left turns...

Someone should physically disassemble the camera from its current location and put it in the Front near the headlights and see how FSD behaves. I understand this may invalidate the warranty, but for the sake of science some rich dude or YouTuber can do that.

At 47, it inexplicably does not take the empty right turn lane for the impending right turn coming up just a few feet away. But then, like a bad selfish driver cuts everyone at the last minute and takes a turn from the wrong lane... and gets a ton of honk from pissed off drivers 🤣 It is a...

Sorry meant to mention @Bladerskb

I find it odd that there are no videos of booster reentry have surfaced so far, taken from a ship or a plane or a drone from outside of the safety zone, even some 100 miles away.

Is it @bxr140 contention that Mobile h/w & s/w suite that is already out there today (not the ones in the pipeline) exceeds the capability of the current V12.3 from Tesla ?

The goal should be that at some point in the next few years, almost every exit between the 4 big cities of Texas should have an SC !

?? What tunnels? Flame diverter? You mean in Starbase, TX? I presume you are kidding

Insurance industry is ripe for disruption. You heard it here from me first. Just like how the outrageous late fees from video chain Blockbuster sealed their fate, time is now ripe to disrupt the greedy auto and home insurance industries.

You are saying this based on your own experience or on what you have been reading from others experiences ?

Huh? I can see the context from Buckminster's post. Here is a screen capture below. I am guessing for some reason the twitter urls are not translating to actual message for you because you do not have an X account?. And if not having a free X account is the reason, then that is your problem and...

How did the OLM infrastructure fare ? Any damage? Experts like me have pointed out many times, having an exhaust tunnel is the only way to go. Please tell me that I am correct and SpaceX is wrong.
